About us

Welcome to Adlington Cricket Club. We are a thriving community club in the heart of the village, just a few miles outside of Chorley.

Established in the 1870s, ACC has a long history of cricket and is a fully-licensed social venue for events such as parties, corporate events and business meetings.

Currently we have around 130 members and three senior teams, two who play in the Greater Manchester Cricket League and our mixed ability seniors, Adlington Nomads, and a junior section in the Wigan and District League.

New members are always welcome. Why not come down and visit!
